Can't see anything but a win here. It was canny of Bruce to rest the entire team for the Leicester game last week so that they will be raring to go this weekend. 3-1 to us. Almiron to get off the mark with a hat trick.
I voted for you but the others were dead against it. You need to work on them or you won't be doing a match thread this season. They both said that whoever you were up against they would choose them (even Ben10).
5-2-3 for me. Willems/Yedlin wing backs pushing forward, Almiron on the left and Maximin on the right of a narrower front 3 with Carroll ahead of Joelinton if fit. Longstaff and Longstaff in the midfield. Back three of Clark, Lascelles, Schar. Not deep defending, high pressing, with Almiron and Max providing the link, Longstaff's hopefully playing off each other. Anything else is suicide.
bruce need to pick a formation and stick on what he believes at least 5 games to see if it can work ! he keeps fannying around which shows he s simply hoping to stumble across something that works by chance and that says everything.
Manure are there for the taking but so were Arsenal, Watford and Brighton,with that in mind 1 nil win for the away side.
He's already been on the tellybox to say his ideas aren't being given time to develop, so he's going to have to go with his predecessors plan. I mean, seriously - have you EVER heard a manager say anything so ridiculous? "My players play a different way, so I'm just going to let them." Sunday, 7pm, Bruce will be saying "it's all Rafa's fault." Perfect set-up.
well it only proves me right again so I'll take that .. for years people have been complaining about our style despite doing very well and in particular the second half of last season … I recall saying why change when we have picked up more points during that period than any side outside the top 6 ?, put people have this foolish notion that we can do better. I hope that now people accept we tried and that it's highly unwise t change anything again until we are safe or we've spent enough money and had a full summer to work on it .
Oh, I was up for a change. I get Rafa's plans, and they worked, irrefutably. It was just SO DULL TO WATCH!! But to task Bruce with the change? Madness. I can imagine Bruce went in and said crap like "i bleed black & white, me", "we'll be playing on the front foot", "I'll get wor fans back on wor seats, like" and our dullard owner and MD wiped the drool away and gave him the deal.
if it was any other team in the league playing Man Utd, I would predict a home win. Since it's us, I predict a poor 2-0 defeat with us slowly jogging around the pitch.
